Chart A  SDM Integrity Check

D09RW002

Circuit Description:

When the SDM recognizes “ignition 1” voltage, applied to
terminals “12”, is greater than 9 volts, the “AIR BAG”
warning lamp is flashed 7 times to verify operation.  At this
time the SDM performs “Turn–ON” tests followed by
“Continuous Monitoring” tests.  When a malfunction is
detected, the SDM sets a current diagnostic trouble code
and illuminates the “AIR BAG” warning lamp. The SDM
will clear current diagnostic trouble codes and move them
to a history file when the malfunction is no longer detected
and/or the ignition switch is cycled, except for DTCs 51,
53 and 71.  DTC 71 can only be cleared using a scan tool
“Clear Codes” command in case that the malfunction on
DTC 71 has been solved and no DTCs 51 and 53 were
remained.  DTCs 51, 53 and 71 can not be cleared after a
“Clear Codes” command is issued.

Chart Test Description:

Number(s) below refer to step number(s) on the
diagnostic chart:
1. This test confirms a current malfunction.  If no

current malfunction is occurring (history DTC set)
the “Diagnostic Aids” for the appropriate diagnostic
trouble code should be referenced.  The SDM
should not be replaced for a history diagnostic
trouble code.

2. This test checks for a malfunction introduced into the

SRS during the diagnostic process.  It is extremely
unlikely that a malfunctioning SDM would cause a
new malfunction to occur during the diagnostic
process.

3. When all circuitry outside the SDM has been found

to operate properly, as indicated by the appropriate
diagnostic chart, then and only then should the SDM
be replaced.

Chart A SDM Integrity Check 

WARNING: DURING SERVICE PROCEDURES.  BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN HANDLING A SENSING AND
DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM).  NEVER STRIKE OR JAR THE SDM.  NEVER POWER UP THE SRS WHEN THE
SDM IS NOT RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. ALL SDM AND MOUNTING BRACKET FASTENERS MUST
BE CAREFULLY TORQUED AND THE ARROW MUST BE POINTING TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE
TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION OF THE SRS. THE SDM COULD BE ACTIVATED WHEN POWERED WHILE
NOT RIGIDLY ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD CAUSE DEPLOYMENT AND RESULT IN
PERSONAL INJURY.

1. This chart assumes that the “SRS Diagnostic System Check”

and either a symptom chart or a diagnostic trouble code chart
diagnosis have been performed When all circuitry outside the
SDM has been found to operate properly, as indicated by the
appropriate diagnostic chart, and the symptom or DTC
remains current, the following diagnostic procedures must be
performed to verify the need for SDM Replacement.

2. Ignition switch “OFF.”
3. Reconnect all SRS components, ensure all components are

properly mounted.

4. Ensure the ignition switch has been “OFF” for at least 15

seconds.

5. Note “AIR BAG” warning lamp as ignition switch is turned

“ON.”

Does warning lamp flash 7 times then go “OFF”?

The symptom or

DTC is no longer

occurring.

Clear SRS

diagnostic trouble

codes.

Repeat the “SRS

Diagnostic

System Check.”

Go to Step 2

2

Using a scan tool, request diagnostic trouble code display.

Is the same symptom or DTC occurring as was when the “SRS
Diagnostic System Check ” was first performed?

Ignition switch

“OFF.”

Go to the

appropriate chart

for the indicated

malfunction.

Go to Step 3

3

1. Clear “SRS Diagnostic Trouble Codes.”
2. Ignition switch “OFF” for at least two minutes.
3. Note “AIR BAG” warning lamp as ignition switch is turned

“ON.”

Does warning lamp flash 7 times then go “OFF”?

SRS is functional

and free of

malfunctions.

No further

diagnosis is

required.

Go to Step 4

Ignition switch

“OFF.”

Replace SDM.

Go to Step 4

Reconnect all SRS components, ensure all components are
properly mounted.

Chart B “AIR BAG” Warning Lamp Comes “ON” Steady

D09RW002

Circuit Description:

When the ignition switch is first turned “ON”, “ignition 1”
voltage is applied from the “MA01” meter fuse to “AIR
BAG”, warning lamp which is connected to “SRS warning
lamp”, terminal “7”.  The “SRS–1” fuses apply system
voltage to the “ignition 1” inputs, terminals “12”.  The SDM
responds by flashing the “AIR BAG” warning lamp 7
times.  If “ignition 1” voltage is less than 9 volts, the “AIR
BAG” warning lamp will come “ON” solid with no DTCs
set.

Chart Test Description:

Number (s) below refer to step number (s) on the
diagnostic chart.
2. This test checks for an open in the “ignition 1” circuit

to the SDM.

3. This test checks for the voltage of “ignition 1.”
4. This test determines whether the malfunction is a

short to ground in CKT IB04 – GRN.
